LAURA
Gender: Feminine
Usage: English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Finnish, Estonian, Hungarian, Polish, Scandinavian, German
Pronounced: LAWR-a (English), LOW-rah (Spanish, Italian, Polish, German) [key]
Feminine form of the Late Latin name Laurus, which meant "laurel". In ancient Rome the leaves of laurel trees were used to create victors' garlands. Saint Laura was a 9th-century Spanish martyr, a nun who was thrown into a vat of molten lead by the Moors. Another famous bearer was Laura Secord, a Canadian heroine during the War of 1812.

Victory! Derived from the laurel that Ceasar wore as a crown, and that are placed around the winning horses' neck at the finish line. It is a proud name which I am a member. Laura, Laurel, Lauren, Laurie, Lori etc. And I must say, with Jesus' help, I am victorious in my life no matter what life throws at me... and it's thrown alot-alot! Yikes!

I think it's a form of Laurel...
All the Laura's and Lori's I've ever known were self centered, egotisitical, competitive, back biting, loose females.
But that's just my experience. You might be nicer.

It is a crown made out of leaves, like the Romans would wear.
